Game Story
Texan Frog
I wanted Frogger. I had a board I thought was working. I found a boardless cabinet in Texas and had it shipped out here to AZ. It is a beautiful cabinet. I plugged in the board and got nothing. Well, so much for the "working Frogger" board. I will need to get a PCB that actually works someday.
